I bet no one does. Check your pokertracker database and see if you show a profit for any suited connector or low PP. If not, why do we still play them?

Assuming 100 BB stacks, you raise someone to $9 and he reraises to $27. How many 5-bet all-in with TT/JJ? At these stakes, most are 3 betting with JJ+ and AK, a range you are way behind. If you don't go all-in, wouldn't folding be better to calling, because if you don't hit your set, which is unlikely, you will not like the flop...?

I don't think a relatively passive player at these stakes is raising without a set, two pair or maybe the nut flush draw to a tight 3 better preflop.

don't remember any hands shown but given that I 3 bet and he is so passive, he must be betting the turn with at least 2 pair. I think he would check any other hand. It was probably a little nitty but I have been getting burned a lot with over pairs in 3 bet pots to villians aggression with sets.

How do you guys decide when to 4 bet all in with AK. Assume $200 buy-in. Do you just look at villians AF and 3 betting range and then decide, e.g. if he is 3 betting 10% shove but if he is only 3 betting 2% fold? Do you have a 4 bet calling HUD stat as well? AK does not have positive equity against a top 4% hand, the type of hand people are calling all-ins with! I seem to loose more money than I win with AK! Help!

Over 250 hands, villian is playing 42/18/1, i.e., loose-passive/passive. Also, if he has a HUD, he should know I don't 3 bet much, i.e. less than 5%.

BTW, he had pocket 88s for a set and took my stake. It seems that more often than not they have sets in these situations.

How do you guys decide when to 4 bet or call a 4 bet? Do you just look at their 3 betting range and if you are ahead of that range 4 bet shove? for example, if villian 3 bets 10% of the time, and you have AK, which has 58% equity against that range, do you shove? Do you ever consider villian's calling range to the shove as well?
